(Trigger warning for those easily triggered. This is a dark romance that contains scenes of cnc, kinks, and more. If that is not something you would find yourself interested in. It may be best not to continue. If it is! PLEASE read. YOU WILL LOVE IT) Juliette thought she knew what safety felt like; late-night drives, whispered secrets with friends, the kind of innocence you don't realize is fragile until it shatters. But the night Silas laid eyes on her, that innocence became his favorite game to ruin. By day, Silas is a sharp-suited man with clean records. A man who moves information like a ghost. His job demands precision, secrets, and blood on his hands that no one ever sees. He has power, connections, and a network that bends to his will. But by night, all that control narrows down to one obsession: Juliette. Locked away in his world, she quickly learns that chains don't always rattle and cages aren't always made of steel. Sometimes they're silk sheets, whispered threats, and hands that roam where they shouldn't. Silas doesn't just want to own her body; he wants to unravel her mind, to make her crave the touch she swore she'd never welcome. Every kiss tastes like sin. Every order drags her deeper into his dangerous obsession. The man who should terrify her makes her tremble for all the wrong reasons, and the line between hate and hunger blurs until she can't tell the difference. She should fight him. She should run. But the longer she stays, the more Juliette wonders if escape is the last thing she truly wants. Because Silas isn't just her captor. He's the dark secret she's terrified to need.
